The Standard 5 Clinical Care Checklist

Compliance Clarity for Allied Health Subcontractors in Aged Care

Want to stay audit-ready and referral-worthy under Support at Home?

This free checklist helps Allied Health providers and subcontractors understand what’s required to meet Standard 5 – Clinical Care under the Aged Care Act 2024, and how to deliver therapy that’s not just effective — but compliant, goal-driven, and provider-aligned.

What’s Included

This isn’t just a tick-box list — it’s a clinical compliance guide designed specifically for subcontracted Allied Health teams operating under aged care brokerage arrangements. Inside, you’ll find:

  • A breakdown of the 7 key outcomes under Standard 5

  • What each outcome means for physiotherapists, OTs, EPs, and clinical teams

  • Compliance prompts to guide your documentation, escalation, and outcomes

  • Examples of how to align with reablement, wellness, and audit expectations

  • A self-check section to assess whether your services are truly Standard 5 ready

Perfect for providers and subcontractors delivering aged care services under Home Care Packages, Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), or preparing for Support at Home from July 2025.

Why This Matters

Clinical governance is no longer optional.

Under the new aged care model, subcontractors aren’t just service providers — you’re part of the provider’s compliance chain. That means:

  • Your therapy plans can be audited

  • Your documentation must support measurable outcomes

  • Your service delivery needs to reflect wellness and reablement principles

If your team isn’t aligned to Standard 5, you’re at risk of lost referrals, failed audits, or provider disengagement.

But if you are?
You become a preferred subcontractor — compliant, scalable, and easy to refer to.
